liarly appropriate to any and every indi-
vidual idea would be providential bene-
factor to the human race. which annually
puzzles its head over this subject A SOU

or merit, asst is an evidence of love, affec-
ton or esteem, and holiday buyers will find
in our establishment hundreds of. fitting
objects and articles, and at prices Suited to
the scantest or most plethoric purse. We
mention some few articles-our immense
catalogue scarce covering all: Ladies' and
Gents Toilet Sets in oxydized silver, some
thing new; beautiful line of Lemaire's
Opera Glasses, GOld-headed Umbrellas, a
superb line of Ladies' Gold Watches, every

What the English Say.

The English allude to them as stop coats. ,
WE call them Overcoats. Itamounts oaboui
the same thing, however, and in this "cold
wave" season it is simply case of ''the rose
smelling as sweetly under any other name =
We have sold lots of Overcoats during the
past week, but the piles don't seem to shrink
bit. We gave every buyer his good
moneys worth, and something over, too.
You need never feel ashamed Of any of our
Coats, whether the finest Satin-lined or the
ordinary substantial plain Coat Every
single one carries an air of responsibility
with it, The prices pc sibly have some
thing to do with the demand We are not
greedy. A eery small profit suits us. An
Overceat sold is worth dozen left over to
as. They've got to go in their otcn season.
Don't think of buying an overcoat without
seeing us. You might regret it. Plenty of
nice Underwear, Hose, correct shapes in
Hats, etc. Our line of select suits for Gents.
Youths and Boys holds its own, and with
some extra holiday suits" added. The Big
Golden Arm, 159 Broughton street, is the
beacon you should steer toward.

AT THE PLAY.

Marie Prescott as "Farthenia" in EN-
gomar" To-Night's Attraction.
Marie Prescott will make her bow to Sa-
vannah theatre-goers tonight as Par
thenia" in ''Ingomar." Miss Prescott played
in Charleston Monday night before large
audience. The NelUs and Courier says of
the performance that it left nothing to be
desired. Miss Prescott is an ideal par
thenia" -modest, pretty, earnest and elo-
quent, she fills all the requirements of role
which very few women undertake, for the
reason of its exactions A robust "Par-
thenia" would be a horror, a shy "Par-
thenian farce, and volatile "Parthenia''
a delusion and a snare. Miss Prescott
presents the character with all the lights
and shades with which the author has in
vested it, an ideal creation, illustrating the
power of the divine passion to tame a bar
barian, to civilize a savage.
Mr. McLean's 'Ingomar" was COM
panion picture to "Parthenia. 1t was a
rather robust "Ingomar" in the opening
scenes, but the gradations which mark the
tanning process were carefully and delicate
ly portrayed, and the work was, on the
whole, exceedingly clean and clever. The
play was greeted with frequent applause

A Bargain in Every Purchase.

Is the rule of the Famous" northeast cor
ner Congress and Whitaker streets. We
hold out no inducements in one article we
sell, and then charge more on another to
make up. Positively every purchase
made of us is a bargain, whether it is in
Clothing, Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods,
Hats, Trunks or Umbrellas. How can we
do so' Plain enough. Two of the firm are
constantly on the lookout in New York for
goods in our line, with the ready cash, buy
ing only at the lowest prices, manufacture
ing all the clothing there, thereby saving
to our patrons the retailers profit, which is
at least 81 80 to s. 90 on a suit or overcoat.
Beside that, it enables us to have our cloth
ing made up and trimmed better than ordi-
narily done by manufacturers, as we make
them up for our own sale, and strive to have
our customers pleased, not only when they
purchase, but also in the wearing of the
garment. We are thankful for the patron
age received, and can thank ourselves for
receiving so much of it, by giving the good
quality of Clothing for such low prices.

Last night was the anniversary of the
opening of the Cadets Bazaar, and partly in
commemoration of the event and partly to
discover the result of the years work,
Lieut.. Brooks arranged competitive drill
of those members who had Joined the com
pany during the year There were twenty
two i'll line when the drill was opened. The
test was confined to the manual of arms and
the orders most generally used in drilling a
company The failures that were made
were due more to the nervousness of the
men than to their lack of knowledge Still
the showing was good one, and it reflected
credit both upon the material of which the
company is composed and the officers under
whose instructions it has reached its present
stage of efficiency. The three men who re.
manned longest in line were Corpl. J. c..
Tyson and Privates B. S. Summons and w.
II. Wright. Corpl. J. C. Tyson was the
victor, and the prize which he won was a
meerschaum cigar holder. 1t was presented
to him by Thos S. Morgan, Jr., Esq, who
paid him graceful compliment.

Americas First Sunday School.

The Boston Globe has recently been giving
sketches of the first Sunday schools in New
England. Mr.. I. K. Oglesby, of this city,
has written letter calling attention to the
fact that a Sunday school was established
in the parish of Christ church four years
earlier than the earliest date named in this
connection in the Globe, and nearly fifty
years before Robert Raikes began his Sun
day school in Gloucester, Eng, and eighty
years before the first school in America on
Mr.. Raikes' plan was established in New
York. That learned and eminent divine
the late Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania
in his history of Georgia, volume 1, page
34l, states that this Savannah Sunday
school was founded in 1886. The name of
its founder was John Wesley.

the net steamship earnings were $469, 451 95,
